.308 front sight post


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know why the front sight post is pushed up so far on the .308 barrel compared to the .223 and 7.62x39?

 

BTW, today I just picked up my new .308 and I leaned it up against a table in my workshop and it slide over and landed on my toe. All I thought was that I was glad that it didn't hit the floor. That is until I realized that I have probably broken my big toe. While at the gun shop I noticed that since last Friday my local shop had gotten in a new shipment of Saigas. The prices were the same. Already gone were the shotguns (except for the .410) and a .223.

I believe that they are made that way to satisfy the gunbanners. This makes it harder to install a flash hider/brake. I have been trying to figure which route to go in installing on of these. I know that the hood on the fsb has to be removed and the sleeve inside has to be delt with. Still don't know if I want to weld one on or machine and thread barrel, (expensive).
